Editing Churches Uniting in Christ (section)

=== Task forces ===
The Coordinating Council of CUIC created several task forces: Racial and Social Justice, Ministry, Young Adult and Local and Regional Ecumenism. Each task force represented an important part of early CUIC work.<ref>{{cite web | last = Solheim | first = Hames | title = Churches Uniting in Christ 'finding momentum' | date = November 18, 2003| url = http://archive.wfn.org/2003/11/msg00170.html | access-date = 20 September 2012}}</ref>  Local ecumenical liturgies were encouraged, and excitement initially built around "pilot programs" in Denver, Los Angeles, and Memphis. The Racial and Social Justice task force created gatherings and discussions on racial justice. The Ministry task force received much of the attention from church structures, however. The group had been given a mandate to complete work on reconciliation by 2007, and in 2003 began working on a document entitled "Mutual Recognition and Mutual Reconciliation of Ministries."<ref>{{cite journal | title = Recommendation to the churches for a new relationship, Churches Uniting in Christ | journal = Mid-Stream| volume = 39 | issue = 1–2 | pages = xiii | date = January 2000 | issn = 0544-0653 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | last = Lampman | first = Jane | title = In largest unity movement ever, churches blur denominational lines | journal = Christian Science Monitor| date = 3 January 2002 | url = http://www.csmonitor.com/2002/0103/p12s2-lire.html | access-date = 9 September 2012}}</ref>
